PREFATORY  NOTE 

Since  the  third  issue  of  this  list  in  1910,  the  recataloguing  of  several 
classes  has  been  completed,  that  of  others  begun  or  advanced:  Pliilosophy; 
Heraldry ;  Genealogy ;  Political  science ;  International  law ;  sections  of  Art, 
Language  and  Literature ;  Agriculture ;  Military  and  Naval  science ;  special 
collections,  Lincoln,  Washington,  etc.  These  subjects,  covered  fully  or  in 
part,  have  increased  the  list  to  more  than  double  its  former  size.  Together 
with  the  Preliminary  lists  of  subject  headings  with  local  subdivision, 
recently  issued,  it  forms  a  necessary  complement  to  the  main  list  of  sub- 
ject headings,  and  a  key  to  the  subject  subdivisions  used  on  the  printed 
catalogue  cards. 

The  compilation  of  the  additions  and  the  preparation  of  the  revised  list 
for  printing  are  the  work  of  Mary  W.  MacNair.

gen;eral  form  divisions  under  subjects. 

Addresses,  essays,  lectures. 

To  include  addresses,  essays,  lectures,  whether  issued  singly'^-  or  in 
collections,  whether  by  one  or  more  authors.  It  is  to  be  limited  to 
the  class  of  works  specified,  i.  e.  works  which  are  usually  brief  and 
do  not  treat  the  subject  as  comprehensivelj''  or  methodically  as  a 
regular  treatise. 

Occasionally  the  term  "essay"  is  applied  to  a  work  which  really  forms 
a  conf^rehensive  treatise  on  a  subject  or  branch  of  a  subject.  In 
this  case  the  subdivision  is  to  be  omitted.  The  same  holds  true  of  a 
series  of  lectures  on  a  particular  subject  which,  issued  together,  may 
form  a  connected  and  comprehensive  treatise,  and  should  therefore 
be  entered  under  the  general  subject  without  subdivision.
